Chapter 29: Gao Ding Lian Xi opened up the circle of ladies in the A city circle.

Chapter 29: Gao Ding Lian Xi opened up the circle of ladies in the A city circle.

Jiangzhai is a very low-key Jiangnan water town style courtyard, located in the suburb of Beicheng, A city.

Before coming, Lian Xi had already inquired about Jiang Quanming and Mrs. Jiang's situation.

Jiang Quanming is from a commoner background, and relies on his own ability to achieve the position of second-in-command in city A. His future cannot be underestimated. Mrs. Jiang's family has some background. It is said that her father is also a high-ranking official in Beijing, but she has always been very low-key. After following Mayor Jiang to City A, she seldom participated in these celebrity gatherings in City A, and did not show up often.

At the Huo Family Castle that day, she was so low-key that no one recognized her.

After reading these short lines of information, Lian Xi realized that Mrs. Jiang was a very traditional and well-bred woman.

She said to Donna a few people: "This is our lanlady's first private custom customer, and we will try our best to meet her requirements later."

Several people responded.

Zhu Yuanyuan, who had just graduated from school, was even a little nervous. She had never served the wife of such a politician, and she didn't know if she would make some very harsh requirements.

But she turned her head and saw that Sister Shen Li, who had entered the company with her, looked calm. Although Manager Tang seemed a little excited, her expression was still in control. backbone.

Zhu Yuanyuan tidied up her clothes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down.

Lian Xi patted her shoulder with a smile, and said to Aunt Qin, "Mrs. Jiang likes your embroidery very much. She should have some research in this area herself. Maybe she will ask you for advice later."

Aunt Qin smiled and said, "Miss's clothes are well designed, I'm just doing embroidery, there is no good-looking clothes style, no matter how good-looking the embroidery is, there is no chance to get Mrs. Jiang's favor, how can we talk about it? Ask for advice."

Zhu Yuanyuan listened to it, and secretly thought that Aunt Qin was indeed worthy of being President Lian's nurse. It was a beautiful thing to say, neither humble nor arrogant.

After getting along with each other these days, everyone in the company knows Aunt Qin's other identity, that is, the general nurse. In addition to admiring Aunt Qin's superb embroidery skills, she can't help but respect Aunt Qin even more.

Lian Xi didn't intend to reveal the identity of Aunt Qin, but Aunt Qin couldn't change her habit for many years. Even in the company, she still called Lian Xi Miss, so that the employees of the company knew it. When Lian Xi thought about it, he knew it anyway, so it didn't matter.

When I came to Jiang's house, the one who came to open the door was a maid of the same age as Aunt Qin.

The maid invited them in politely and respectfully: "Mrs. gave an order early in the morning, there are guests coming today, please come here."

Lian Xi nodded, and the group entered the Jiang residence.

I saw that the house is full of greenery, simple and deep, and there are pavilions and green trees along the way, which is quite a little bit of Jiangnan mood.

"Miss Lian! I finally waited for you." Mrs. Jiang greeted her with a smile.

Mrs. Jiang was wearing a navy blue satin suit with a Chinese-style collar, top and bottom skirt, a bit of the Republic of China style, with a gray cashmere shawl on her shoulders, she looked very elegant and noble.

Lian Xi also smiled and said from a distance: "Mrs. Jiang, I'm sorry, we are late."

"It's not too late, you're on time, I'm too impatient." Madam Jiang invited them into the living room and ordered the servants to serve tea.

After the group took their seats in the living room, Lian Xi first introduced Mrs. Jiang. She pointed at Aunt Qin: "This is our company's chief embroiderer, Aunt Qin, Qin Xiuzhen."

They also introduced separately: "This is Donna, the manager of our product department. These two are our company's designers, Zhu Yuanyuan and Shen Li."

Donna, Zhu Yuanyuan, and Shen Li nodded politely together: "Hello, Mrs. Jiang."

Aunt Qin also nodded: "Hello, Mrs. Jiang."

Mrs. Jiang's gaze swept across several young people and landed directly on Aunt Qin, with a look of joy and admiration: "You are the master who embroidered Miss Lian's Phoenix Nirvana dress? Master Qin, your embroidery is really great. Exquisite, I haven't seen such exquisite embroidery for many years."

Aunt Qin was a little embarrassed to be praised, and said modestly: "Madam has won the prize, I just like to do some handicrafts. When I was a child, my family was poor and I followed the older generation to make money by doing embroidery work. How can it be as good as you said. "

"Oh, where is Master Qin from?" Madam Jiang asked curiously.

Aunt Qin waved her hand awkwardly: "Madam, don't call me that. My hometown is in Sucheng, and I came to A city with my wife later."

"I see, no wonder! Master Gu's ancestral home is also in Sucheng. Maybe you have a relationship." Mrs. Jiang was full of joy. She was only ten years younger than Aunt Qin, and the two of them talked very cordially: "I've been to Sioux City. It's a good place, with beautiful scenery and outstanding people, and it has a lot of history."

Lian Xi smiled and said, "My mother is also from Sucheng."

Madam Jiang was surprised and smiled: "Then your mother must have been a great beauty when she was young, and Miss Lian must have inherited her mother's beauty."

Aunt Qin nodded again and again: "yes, the young lady looks like the wife when she was young."

When Mrs. Jiang heard Aunt Qin's address to Lian Xi, she couldn't help but wonder: "I don't know what is the relationship between Master Qin and Miss Lian?"

Lian Xi was helpless. Before she came, she specifically instructed Aunt Qin to change her name to call her President Lian. Unexpectedly, she still couldn't change it, so she had to explain to Mrs. Jiang: "Aunt Qin is my nurse, my mother died early, and my father has It's busy, so it can be said that I was brought up by Aunt Qin."

Madam Jiang nodded suddenly: "So that's the case." She smiled and looked at Aunt Qin and then at Lian Xi, "That's great, I love mother and daughter."

Seeing that the greetings were almost over, Lian Xi cut to the point: "Mrs. Jiang, I don't know if you have any special requirements or preferences for this custom dress, but you can tell our designers and we will serve you wholeheartedly."

Mrs. Jiang thought about it and said, "The main thing is to be dignified and elegant, mainly cheongsam, not too short, and there are no special requirements for the color, but it is best if there is a better traditional meaning. The one you wore last time Miss Lian I really like the embroidery totem of Phoenix Zhanyu, but I am old, so it is not suitable to wear such gorgeous ones, and more restrained ones are more suitable."

Lian Xi pondered while recording. The words that Mrs. Jiang said were too general. According to this statement, any designer can make something that meets the requirements, but it cannot really make Mrs. Jiang like it.

Lian Xi asked directly: "I don't know if it's inconvenient for Mrs. Jiang to tell me what kind of event you need to wear this dress for. I think it's more convenient for us to tailor it for you."

Madam Jiang stopped drinking tea, looked up at Lian Xi, and smiled calmly: "It's an informal political forum." After a pause, she added, "Although it's not formal, I'm here to participate. are very important people.”

Lian Xi knew almost one thing, and said: "So, I understand."

Presumably Mrs. Jiang said that this political discussion was related to Jiang Quanming's promotion in the next term, otherwise Mrs. Jiang would not have paid such attention to it.

Before he came, Lian Xi had heard rumors that Jiang Quanming was likely to be promoted.

That Mrs. Jiang's order is too important. If she wins, it will help Lianxi to open up the circle of political ladies in City A and even Beijing.

Lian Xi paid more and more attention, she motioned Donna to take out the work box: "Mrs. Jiang, I already understand your needs, then let Donna and the others help you measure your measurements."

Mrs. Jiang put down the tea cup and stood up gracefully: "Okay, then I will trouble you a few."

Shen Li and Zhu Yuanyuan also went over to help Donna, one took the tape measure, the other checked the symmetry, and Lian Xi recorded the data on the opposite side. Mrs. Jiang stretched out her hands and turned around, so that they could be more careful, and chatted with Aunt Qin about her views on Su embroidery.

Lian Xi carefully observed the decoration style of Mrs. Xiajiang's house, including the style of paintings on the wall, the material and color of the carpet and sofa at home, and the types of flowers and plants planted outside the yard.

Then I took a closer look at her face shape, facial features, hair volume and color, as well as the proportions of her shoulders, neck and neck, and the direction of her hip skeleton, and she quickly got the idea. Preliminary ideas have been made on the style of the dress.

Mrs. Jiang is not tall and has a plump figure. Because of her well-maintained skin, her skin is very fair, her face is round, and her facial features are soft, giving her a very good sense of intimacy.

If her appearance needs to be dignified and dignified, it is necessary to add some three-dimensional sense to the design of the dress. The choice of color should not be too dark. It is best to increase the waist cutting by two centimeters to lengthen the visual proportion.

After measuring the height and measurements, Lian Xi closed the notebook and calmly said, "Mrs. Jiang, I will show you the first draft of the design in three days. If you are not satisfied, we will revise it."

Mrs. Jiang was surprised: "Is three days enough? Actually, I'm not in a hurry. Even Miss can do it slowly."

Lian Xi smiled: "Don't worry, Mrs. Jiang, only the first draft will be published in three days, and we will fine-tune it later. After the first version is finished, the second and third versions will be made. We will not miss any details due to time constraints."

Mrs. Jiang smiled gently and looked at Lian Xi with admiration: "That's good, Miss Lian is serious and talented, and I am very relieved to leave the dress to you."

"Mrs. Jiang is my first private client. Naturally, I want to do my best for you. I hope you will introduce more clients to us in the future."

"Of course."

After talking about business, Lian Xi was ready to leave.

Mrs. Jiang enthusiastically asked them to leave after dinner at Jiang's house. Lian Xi refused again and again, jokingly said, "When the dresses are ready, if Mrs. Jiang is satisfied, how about inviting us to dinner? Now that the clothes are not ready, I can't eat this meal for free."

Madam Jiang said, "Alright, then I'll wait until I get the dress before I invite Miss Lian, Master Qin, and a few others to have a meal as a thank you."

Lian Xi and his party walked to the yard and nodded, "Mrs. Jiang, please stay, we'll go first."

After sending off Lian Xi and others, Madam Jiang said to the maid beside her, "Miss Lian has an extraordinary conversational temperament, I haven't seen a girl with such ability and courage at such a young age like her for a long time. She will definitely do a lot in the future."

The maid echoed: "Madam's vision must not be wrong. I think this Miss Lian is also well-informed and reasonable, and she can also let her family's servants to work in the company, which shows that she has an extraordinary mind."

What Mrs. Jiang thought was that Lian's Group has always been a rare capital in City A that still insists on industrial manufacturing. Last time her husband talked to her about the regulation of the market economy in City A, and it is necessary to increase support for industry and manufacturing. Now that she has met Miss Lian Jia again, she can find an opportunity to introduce Lian Jia as a manufacturer's representative to participate in the market pilot enterprise.

Lian Xi didn't know that her trip to Jiangzhai not only won her first high-order order, but also got potential political customers, and she also found a ride policy for her father, Lian Binnian. Opportunities for the transformation of new wind enterprises.

…

Lian Xi took a few people back to the company and started to hold non-stop meetings again.

Zhao Xiaoting has already contacted a live broadcast platform with the most daily active users in China, and the cooperation matters have basically been negotiated.

Lianxi broadcasts the broadcast in person, and then brings the two platform's own contract anchors. The anchor fee is paid according to the live broadcast period. As for the product, according to the number of models listed on Lanci's side, a link can be 200,000 yuan.

Twenty styles are tentatively estimated, which means that the pit fee is 4 million.

Coupled with the two anchors bound on the platform, it will cost about five million.

Zhao Xiaoting showed Lian Xi the detailed contract for a look.

After reading the contract, Lian Xi thought that this platform is really dark. Two hours of live broadcast can make a net profit of 5 million. Good guy, it is a huge profit.

No wonder now the new type of enterprises are crowding into the Internet industry, all wanting to come here for a piece of the pie.

"Are you sure that the product pit fee can't be suppressed any more?" Lian Xi asked.

Zhao Xiaoting shook her head: "This TikTok platform has many active users, and they sell 200,000 live slots during prime time. If the price is lowered, it's okay, but the time has to be moved to noon or afternoon."

Such stubbornness is naturally due to the fact that it is currently the only one in the country.

Lian Xi has also heard of this TikTok, which specializes in small videos. Later, there was a live broadcast trend on the Internet, and it made a lot of money by rubbing against this trend.

Lian Xi has long wanted to be her own platform, but seeing the success of Douyou this time made her even more excited.

Originally, she wanted to wait for Cao Xinghui to return from the United States before starting this matter, but now it seems that the few platform developers she recruited before can come in handy first.

Lian Xi said to Zhao Xiaoting, "Everything else is fine, just move the eight o'clock to nine o'clock in the time slot."

The night activities of modern people have barely started at eight o'clock. This is not the best time period. Since she spent so much money on live broadcasts, she buys the best prime time slot if she wants to.

Zhao Xiaoting nodded: "Okay, President Lian, I'll negotiate with that side."

"Also, Mr. Lian, here are some materials that need to be prepared for the live broadcast, as well as some questions that netizens may ask. I asked Xiao Chen to sort it out. Can you take a look?"

This surprised Lian Xi. The two little girls, Xiaoting and Xiao Chen, were so attentive in their work that they could think of some problems that Lian Xi had not thought of, which made her very gratified: "Well, yes, you are very thoughtful, I will Look carefully."

Zhao Xiaoting was very happy to be praised by President Lian: "Thank you, President Lian, I will go to work first."

After finalizing the live broadcast, Donna came into the office again: "Mr. Lian, the people from the design department have already arrived, waiting for your meeting."

Lian Xi was so busy that he didn't even have time to drink water, so he got up again and went to the design department for a meeting.

The meeting was mainly to discuss the design of Mrs. Jiang's haute couture dress.

Lian Xi didn't plan to take over the whole life by herself. She knew very well that as a company boss, she had to learn to delegate power. If she firmly grasped the top spot in design, the designers below would feel that she would never succeed. Not so motivated to do things.

So, this time, Lian Xi asked Donna to convene all the designers in the design department for a meeting to announce one thing:

"This time, all designers in the company can participate in the design of Mrs. Jiang's dress, including the two planners. We adopt the method of internal bidding, and whoever has the best artwork will use it."

When Lian Xi said this, everyone was very surprised.

"Mr. Lian, but we are the designers of the old series, can we also participate in the high-end design of lanlady?" asked several old employees.

Lian Xi said: "As I said, this is an internal bidding. If you feel that you have this talent and ability, you can all participate. Our selection of drafts is also fair and open, and whoever is better will use it. Of course, you If you feel that you can't spare time to do other designs outside of your daily work, you can also not participate. This is not a mandatory rule, it is completely voluntary. However, the four designers of lanlady must participate. At the same time, I will also Come up with your own sketches and campaign fairly with you."

There are eight designers in the design department, four of Lanci's old model, four of Lanlady, plus the board maker and Donna, the manager, a total of 11 people, which is the largest in all departments of the company.

Lian Xi threw out a big reward: "The final selected artwork designer this time, I will give 20% of the transaction price of the customer order as an additional bonus, it depends on who of you has the ability to get the bonus. "

This time, Madam Jiang's dress was priced at six figures, with a 20% bonus, at least 100,000 yuan.

Originally, the order was signed by Lian Xi herself. She could not have given bonuses to her employees, but in order to motivate everyone to work, she rewarded them clearly.

Lian Xi has always been generous in her actions. The last week she worked overtime in the public opinion war with Murong Chen, she gave each employee a red envelope of 18,888, and invited everyone to a five-star seafood restaurant for a buffet.

And 100,000 yuan, can top the salary of an ordinary white-collar worker for half a year!

As soon as they heard that there was a lottery, the four people in the affordable series nodded one after another, eager to try.

"Mr. Lian, we are willing to fight for this opportunity."

"Well." Mr. Lian said to Donna, "Then make a copy of the information and notes recorded in Mrs. Jiang's afternoon, and send them a copy. There are only three days for the collection of artworks, so let's go back and find inspiration. Three We'll find out later."

After the meeting of the product department, Lian Xi went out and turned left and went directly to the platform R&D department.

In the computer room, four programmers were typing frantically at the computer keyboard, entering a string of codes into it.

They are revamping lanci's current official website.

But Lian Xi felt that improvement was not enough.

What Lianxi wants to do is: develop a comprehensive female user APP that integrates personal social dynamics, small videos, shopping, live broadcast and other functions.

Only by becoming the platform side can you master the market dominance, not like now she has to pay for a live broadcast to find someone else.

"How is the new website doing?" Lian Xi walked into the computer room, and walked around with his hands behind his back leisurely.

"Lian Zong!" Zhao Bo of the R&D Department suddenly saw Zong Lian appearing behind him, and was startled and got up quickly.

Lian Xi looked at it, good guy, with two huge dark circles under his eyes at a young age, she asked, "Are you guys resting?"

The four panda eyes stood up from the computer in unison: "Mr. Lian, we have stayed up for a few nights, and the new website is about to be ready."

From the moment they joined the company, Lian Xi only gave them one task, which was to transform and upgrade the existing website functions.

Even if it can't be built into the comprehensive platform she wants at once, at least you can add some personal homepages and wear and share videos first, attract some users first, wait until the technology is mature, and then gradually improve it.

But looking at the four of them looking like dishes, Lian Xi felt that his request was too much.

Thinking that when they applied for the job, they were all spiritual boys.

In just a few days, she was tortured like this? !

Lian Xi was really worried that these programmers stayed up all night and died suddenly in the computer room: "...Well, it's alright, in fact, I'm not in a hurry. You should get off work early today and go home and have a good sleep."

Zhao Bo smiled honestly with dark circles under his eyes: "No, no, don't worry, Mr. Lian, we can definitely finish it within three days."

The other three also scratched their nearly bald heads, and gave Lianxi a stern smile: "Mr. Lian, we really don't need it. We write code, and in fact, we are more inspired at night."

Zhao Bo testified and nodded normally: "Yes, Mr. Lian, you don't know, in fact, Lanci is already the company where we have worked the least overtime. But we are all used to working overtime, and it is not as efficient during the day as at night. If you really If you can't bear to squeeze us, why don't you…”

Lian Xi looked at him vigilantly: "Why not?"

"Why don't we go back to sleep during the day and come to work at night." Zhao Bo was embarrassed to say that, in fact, they had already disrupted their biological clocks by working overtime around the clock. cockfighting.

Lian Xi thought for a while: "Alright, as long as you can guarantee your work efficiency, I respect your commute time."

Zhao Bo was only joking and trying to say it out, but he didn't expect that President Lian actually agreed, but he was stunned.

Lian Xi looked at him suspiciously: "It's just that you are sure that you can stay up from night to early morning?"

And, are you sure that the time of day will be used to sleep honestly?

Zhao Bo and the three programmers nodded hard: "Yes, in fact, we all stayed up until dawn."

"Oh." Lian Xi thought, no wonder the dark circles under the eyes are darker than the national treasure, "Well, I'll delay your work time from 2:00 pm to 10:00 pm, so that you can rest according to your normal biological clock when you go back. Staying up late is not good, it will affect your health. Give you half a day in the morning and try your best to make up for sleep.”

The four programmers were grateful: "woohoo, President Lian, you are so kind, we have never seen such an enlightened boss."

Mr. Lian nodded, and then his smile faded: "Don't blow the rainbow fart, I want to see the new website in three days!"

Programmers: "…QAQ."
